Hi everyone! I hope all my fellow rocklovers are well and happy! I had a minute, so I thought I'd post a few things I call this one Desert Scene Some WIP... This is one of the ones I did for Deserthound, I hope he likes it!

Wow, that "Desert Scene" is amazing. It looks like the weather's getting ready for what we called a Two Inch Rainstorm in Idaho: immense amounts of blowing dust and big raindrops about 2-inches apart, just enough water to make a big mess.
Your cabbing is progressing nicely judging from the group shot. Do you have ID's on the materials you slabbed?

Nope, I think two are brecciated Jasper's but the black with red dots is a mystery.

I think the black slab with red dots might be bloodstone.

Love your desert scene as well. It's so much fun when the rock reveals something that spectacular!

Thanks a lot you guys! Especially deserthound, for the fantastic materials you sent me to work on I really love GPA, but only had some slabettes - I would LOVE some to work on for us! The pet wood is so dang hard, hard an the saw, hard on the wheels, hard on me . It'd be great to have something a little more flexible! If you do send some, send some shapes for the cabs you'd like because I don't have any templates. This board and it's members are so nice and inspirational too, you are like family. Thanks again!

Your Desert Scene is fantastic, definitely reminded me of the monsoons blowing into Phoenix!

I am looking forward to the box . If you want to sell some of your slabs, I can email you pictures of the work that I did so you can use them in your ad. If you want me to help you post an ad, I am happy to. Just pm me the details if that's what you'd like, or send me your email if you want a picture of the work.

Very nice job on the stormy desert scene, better stay on high ground as the washes will be flooded after that rainfall, very well done. You have done a lot of work with all those cabs.
